Munitions Empire

"Our ambassador to the Great Qin Empire has already lodged a protest, protesting the Great Qin Empire's interference in Dahua's domestic affairs..." Seeing as Dahua is indeed our vassal state, the envoy from the Great Tang Empire still responded to Zhao Yu's request.

In fact, the Great Tang Empire did lodge a protest, requesting the Great Qin Empire to consider the interests of both countries and not interfere in the Dahua Kingdom's civil war.

But the issue is, the so-called protest from the Great Tang Empire remained merely verbal, with neither the intention to sanction the Great Qin Empire nor any further threatening actions.

Thus, after the Great Qin Empire grasped the implication from the Great Tang Empire, they continued to support Zhao Jie secretly, remaining utterly unconstrained.

Shrewd observers have already noticed that the Great Tang Empire is indulging the Great Qin Empire's expansion. This indulgence is essentially tempting the Great Qin Empire to play with fire, only that the fire-playing Great Qin Empire is indeed reaping benefits.

After swallowing up Shu Country, the Great Qin Empire can be considered very powerful indeed, and it has seized part of Chu Country's land, exchanging flirtatious glances with Zhao Jie.

If the Great Qin Empire suddenly wages an attack, annexing Chu Country and regions controlled by Zhao Jie, and then blitzes Dahua, theoretically, Qin Country's area and population would instantly surpass the Great Tang, becoming the world's largest nation.

However, in terms of war potential, the Great Tang Empire is still the unshakeable superpower. Nevertheless, other countries are secretly supporting Qin Country to expand its ambitions, hoping for a birth of a decisive battle in the Western Continent in the future.

Once Qin Country and Tang Country go to war, with two titans clashing to the death, such warfare would unquestionably provide precious development opportunities for the rest of the world.

All are waiting for this opportunity, even if the Great Tang Empire unites the Western Continent, the Eastern Continent will gain development time, relying on the vastness of the Endless Sea, making it impossible for the Great Tang Empire to touch the Eastern Continent.

This is the little scheme of the Eastern Continent countries; they know they might not catch up with the Great Tang Empire, they merely want to narrow the gap, relying on the Endless Sea to prevent the Great Tang Empire from moving eastward.

Therefore, these nations are encouraging the Great Qin Empire, presenting it with the illusion of being able to rival the Great Tang Empire.

After all, in the eyes of the Qin Country Emperor Ying Duo, the whole world seems to be standing by his side; once the two nations go to war, these countries would immediately join his camp, forming an Anti-Tang Alliance once again.

This time, the Anti-Tang Alliance will gain an even greater "advantage"! Strategically, as long as the Great Qin Empire can break through Chu Country, utilizing the ports of Shu Country and Chu Country, the Southern Region of the Endless Sea can be connected into one.

Transport ships setting sail from Dorne can reach Qin Country, and resources and reinforcements would endlessly flow into Qin Country, throwing the southern Great Tang Empire into hard battle.

In the north, as long as Qin Country withstands the Great Tang Empire's offensive, everything will turn out fine! The Great Tang Empire will gradually be dragged down by the war of attrition.

The unstable four islands of Mirage Country will become abscesses, plunging the northern region of the Great Tang Empire into chaos, diverting a portion of Great Tang Empire's energy, preventing it from deploying all its forces to the frontline battlefield.

Laines Empire might even, in the future, launch a surprise attack on Dragon Island, as the Great Tang Empire's navy would be engaged in fierce battle in the southern seas with the fleet of Dorne Empire and Qin Country, unable to spare forces to protect its long coastline.

By then, the Great Tang Empire, constrained all over, would completely fall into passivity, eventually succumbing to the overpowering might of the Great Qin Empire!

Every time he thought of this, Ying Duo would reveal a satisfied smile. His son-in-law was still too inexperienced, lacking international political vision.

If it weren't for being too arrogant and impatient with reforms, how would the Great Tang Empire end up at odds with the world? If it weren't for the excessive ambition and lack of restraint, how would the Great Tang Empire become a target for all nations to aim at?

In the end, the Emperor of the Great Tang Empire, his son-in-law, would still have to humbly come to the Great Qin Empire and serve as the Duke of Tang... with his generosity, he could still leave a duke mansion for his daughter.

In the distant Great Tang Empire capital, Chang'an, within the Forbidden City, Tang Mo couldn't help but grin whenever he saw the deciphered secret intelligence exchanged among various countries.

Goodness, they've linked up once again so quickly: Ice Cold Empire and Poplar Empire are secretly negotiating a ceasefire, with both northern empires aiming to reclaim compensation from the Great Tang Empire in the next war.

Laines Empire is even already fantasizing about attacking Dragon Island, delivering a crippling blow to the Great Tang Empire.

Having integrated the Gobur Kingdom, the powerful Dorne Empire is conspiring with the Great Qin Empire to deliver a fatal blow to the Great Tang Empire in the Chu Country region.

Qin Country is further imagining annexing Dahua in the north, mobilizing a million troops for a grandiose showdown with the Great Tang Empire...

What kind of script is this? You might as well go write a novel! With disdain, Tang Mo tossed aside the so-called "joint" conspiracy that was still in its infancy; he simply didn't believe such collusion would succeed again.

Poplar Empire is still within the framework of the Three Emperors Alliance; although the elves are seeking peace talks with the dwarves, they have no interest in waging war against the Great Tang Empire.

These elves might add insult to injury, but forcing them to take sides early is impossible. Tang Mo was very sure, the Poplar Empire, having failed several times, would be more cautious this time.

Suthers Empire goes without saying; they don't even have a navy, declaring war on the Great Tang Empire at such a time yields no benefits.

As for Mirage Country, it goes without saying; the goblins currently lack the ability to trouble the Great Tang Empire, not to mention Shen Wenmao and Shen Wuxiong are all loyal dogs of the Great Tang Empire, with Northern Island under their control there's absolutely no guts to betray the Great Tang Empire.

All things considered, this brewing Second Anti-Tang War is merely Dorne Empire, Laines Empire, and Great Qin Empire against the Great Tang Empire, Chu Country, and Dahua.

Look, three against three, quite fair.

As to how these countries feel they have a chance and can challenge the Great Tang Empire again? Tang Mo thinks, perhaps it's time to sell some of those toys he no longer values to these countries.

To make them feel their navy fleet is strong enough, to make them feel... a million troops have regained the capital to rival the Great Tang Empire...

"Maybe we should also do some preparation work?" Tang Mo stroked his chin and made a decision in his heart: To resume construction and build a few more aircraft carriers, lest they become insufficient later.

Perhaps it's time for his lovely father-in-law to come to Chang'an for retirement, should he prepare and build a Qin Country Mansion in advance?
